Marci Darling’s writing workshop was absolutely fantastic! I loved every second of it. Marci has so much knowledge about writing and presented it in such a fun and enlightening way. It was very uplifting and helped me get my story written down. Learning about specific writing techniques that I could use to make my own story jump off the page was just one take away. Others were learning about the creative part of myself and how to tap into it. Also feeling the support from this workshop inspired me to explore and become more fearless in my own personal journey. Marci’s feedback on my writing was invaluable. She is so gifted at writing a great story and I found her input to be very insightful and useful. I would highly recommend this workshop for anyone, from the newbie beginner to the more advanced writer. You will not only gain writing knowledge, but also learn about yourself while having a complete blast! Marci’s light shines bright and is wonderfully contagious!

Marci Darling is like a whimsical muse with a Harvard degree. Her writing class was an amazing experience. She managed to weave together a combination of igniting conversation about writing, inspiring thoughts, deeply soulful writing prompts, and valuable feedback. It’s enough inspiration to nudge any budding writer into serious action. She shows you how to prioritize writing, so that life does not get in the way. I recommend her writing class to everyone I know.
